It has been stated in other threads (by sean) that the 6 pot calipers from the early 90's yzf750r are a direct bolt on for our '93+ Vmax's, it was also stated that these calipers are very hard to come by as the yzf750r is a realatively rare bike. This is true ,and when I have found them people are usually asking from $120-$180 per caliper.
The other day while doing some research I came across this little nugget, the very same calipers were used on the '94 FZR1000, '94 only. I immediately jumped on ebay out of curiosity and there wer 3 or 4 sets, I bought a set that came with lines, master cylinder and lever for $40+shipping.
Recieved them today and when I got home did a test fit and they do indeed bolt right up
unk:and unlike the R1 calipers the brake line fitting is on top so the stock lines will not need to be kinked to be attatched. Tried to get a pic but my camera battery needs to be charged, will post one later.
Just an FYI for those that may be interested.
